An Energy Inventory of Tidal Disruption Events

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique opportunity to study single super-massive black hole (SMBH) under feeding conditions that change over timescales of days or months. However, the primary mechanism for generating luminosity during flares remains debated. Despite increasing number observed TDEs, it is unclear whether most energy in initial flare comes from accretion near gravitational radius circularizing debris at larger distances SMBH. The dissipation efficiency increases with decreasing radii, therefore by measuring total emitted and estimating we can derive clues about nature emission mechanism. Here calculate integrated energy, timescales, average efficiencies TDEs using Modular Open Source Fitter Transients ({\tt MOSFiT}). Our calculations generally yield higher values than previous estimates. This predominantly because, if follows mass fallback rate, release significant fraction their long after light curve peaks. We use {\tt MOSFiT} conversion radiated find many similar inferred active galactic nuclei. There are, however, large systematic uncertainties measured due model degeneracies between disrupted star, these must be reduced before definitively resolve individual TDEs.
